Psalms 57:6-11

6 They have made ready a net for my steps; my soul is bent down; they have made a great hole before me, and have gone down into it themselves. (Selah.)
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs, and give praise.
8 You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.
9 I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make songs to you among the nations.
10 For your mercy is great, stretching up to the heavens, and your righteousness goes up to the clouds.
11 Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth.
